Please make money.

"The audience is looking forward to your performance, Oh Ka-san. And that exaggerated amount, is it true? Are you going to donate that much?"

Everyone looked over there and started counting, and the final number was 30 billion yen.

Ailia thought that this was just a fraction of what Prime Minister Lei had earned this time, and there were still hundreds of billions of yen waiting for her to squander.

But that's not the point, the point is...

She turned around and looked at Managing Director Narita, wondering what if he didn't react?

But who wouldn’t react? The three words “Alia” on the check were even in bold and gold!

The latter stared blankly at the oversized check for the photo, then turned his head back woodenly.

Lele slapped his forehead beside him - it's broken! The performance was a failure!

How come someone suddenly barged in to steal the show? Could it be that this is the subjective initiative of the actors?

Where is An Hechang? An Hechang, please save him!

Managing Director Narita turned around trembling and looked at Alia. For a moment, he seemed to be at a loss for words.

Alia thought about it, took off her mask, and shook hands with him.

"Hello."

"..."

"My name is Alia."

"..."

"This one is my sister - cough, brother, dear brother, this one is my sister, dear sister, and this one is my cat."

Alia picked up Diamond and said, "Come on, say hello to him~"

Diamond meowed in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on.

Then Managing Director Narita suddenly woke up as if he was suddenly electrocuted.

"I'm so-so sorry!!!"

After a heavy fold, General Manager Narita bowed like a sit-up in a physical education exam.

Sister Jing, who was very close, even heard a click and took a half step back in horror.

This old guy must have broken his spine...

Alia didn't say anything. She just looked at him while holding the cat. There was a pause of about two or three seconds.

Two or three seconds is like an insurmountable chasm.

Managing Director Narita was sweating as he looked at the other person's toes.

Sweat drops almost instantly slid down my cheeks to the corners of my eyes, burning my eyes.

He didn't dare to wipe it, or even blink, his mind went blank.

Alia lowered her hand and patted his shoulder, her tone gentle.

"Let's do our work first. We can discuss other issues after the party. Okay?"

"...Please, please forgive my impoliteness. I really——"

"Hmm↑?"

"——Hi! Everything is at your command!"

"Hmm↓..."

406-Pine nuts by the sea

The evening party started as usual and the TV station also broadcast the show live.

To the TV station's surprise, the show, which was just a performance at a charity dinner, had unexpectedly high ratings.

It's even a bit too high, giving people the illusion of watching a miniature Red and White Song Contest.

They soon figured out the reason - among the celebrity artists who came, there were quite a few who were talented and had a lot of fans.

The most popular ones are singer Kiko Umekawa and Aragaki's younger sister.

Kiko Umekawa is the current mainstay of the artist department of Victory Records.

The Aragaki sisters are both artists. The younger sister is different from her older sister who is a famous actress. She is more of a youth idol and therefore has many fans.

And there is another heavyweight guest, that is Alia who does not want to reveal her name.

After she posted a blog announcing that she would be performing on stage tonight, many fans got wind of it.

You know, before this, Alia had never revealed that she could sing.

More importantly, does this mean that Alia will officially debut as an artist?

Fans are waiting for this one!

Buy, buy, buy - buy whatever Alia and Kassan release! Buy it up!

Even though the song "Under the Sea" is quite heart-wrenching, the song itself is indeed a good song and it's not unacceptable, right?

Under this premise, even people who are not fans of Alia would be interested in watching her performance.

Just like a certain blond real estate developer who wishes to remain anonymous, if he were to appear on a variety show, wouldn’t people who watch variety shows have to take a look at him, right?

What? He started out as an entertainer? That was in the past!

But some are happy while others are sad. While the audience was enjoying the fun, Nissan Motor was in trouble...

Physical numbness - what does it mean? What are the meanings?

Naturally they didn't just send one person to the party, but a small team.

However, the one who took the lead was Managing Director Narita, probably because he thought that he was an old employee, sensible and knew how to socialize.

In fact, General Manager Narita does know how to socialize, but that is only relative.

When facing General Manager An and others, Mr. Chengtian is just Xiao Chengtian. You can just call me Xiao Chengtianzi. Good luck to you!

But when facing these little cuties like Yumei and Jingmei, that is Master Narita - don't disobey me! The master of our Sakura Empire is the master!

The small team was not stupid either. They quickly reported the matter, saying that General Manager Cheng Tian had acted stupidly and offended Miss Alia.

The top executives of Nissan Motor were still waiting to watch the show, but who knew this was happening offline? They were all dumbfounded when they heard about it.

How is it offensive? What is offensive? Is Narita blind?

As the small team muttered to themselves, the top executives at Nissan Motor felt a pain in their cheeks.

What is this called...

Don't watch the show anymore, just figure out how to remedy the situation.

After thinking about it, let's not talk about the future, let's just go to the scene and be straightforward.

As a result, a group of senior executives from Nissan Motor were woken up in the middle of the night and rushed to the scene.

Who is above Nissan? Nissan!

Who is Nissan? One of the three giants in the Japanese auto industry, with Honda on the left and Toyota on the right.

Even Mitsubishi has to rank fourth, and the fifth is the traffic jam king Mazda.

As soon as it made a move, it felt something was a bit interesting when it saw the other two competitors staring at each other.

If Alia had done this a month earlier, people might not have taken her seriously or given her much face.

But things are different now. The Suzuki Group has made a breakthrough in the medical industry and has entered the political arena in a strong way.

It is said that their current half-ally is the Miss "Golden Dragon" from Donghuang.

She may not have much wealth, but her invisible reputation and the channels and connections she can reach, aren’t those also wealth?

As soon as Nissan made the move, Toyota and Honda counted their accounts and decided to donate some as well, it wasn't a big deal.

Giants like Toyota sell tens of millions of cars a year and rank first in the world in sales.

Their total annual revenue is equal to the current total assets of Alia's entire Ai Group converted into US dollars.

With an annual revenue of two or three hundred billion US dollars, if the net profit attributable to the parent is only one tenth, how much would that be?

Donating 1 billion or 800 million yen does not even require a meeting; it is just a matter of verbal discussions among the senior officials on duty.

Go, go, everyone, go join in the fun and give that young lady some face!

Therefore, tonight, amidst the bright lights of the Sakura Festival, there were suddenly many more luxurious traffic lights mixed in...

……

……

When Alia is so bright and beautiful, all kinds of dark things will naturally happen in the world.

On the beach that is not illuminated by neon lights, a girl in white clothes is walking on the beach, stepping slowly into the deep water.

It's over... a lot of things...

Songzi took a deep breath, feeling the cold sea breeze, his expression calm.

She looked back at the city, which was still brightly lit, prosperous and beautiful.

Even on the beach not far away, there are huge billboards and outdoor display walls, as well as a seaside commercial street full of artistic atmosphere.

But the neon lights cannot illuminate this dark place.

Songzi lowered his head silently and looked at the rolling waves.

Then he closed his eyes and felt the coolness gradually climbing up his calves.

Speaking of which, when did you first have the thought of leaving this world?

Was it bullying during school days, workplace oppression at work, or something else...

She took two steps forward and heard an anxious cry in her ear.

Looking back, Songzi was not surprised to see her parents.

The mother cried anxiously and wanted to run to the beach, but was stopped by her father.

"Come back! Come back soon! Songzi——"

"Don't go! Don't worry about her! Don't worry about her! Even if she's dead, don't worry about her! Just pretend you never had this daughter!"

The chaotic quarreling sounds spread far away, and then attracted the attention of some tourists on the bright beach.

People came over one after another with inquiring looks, but stood far away, watching this incomprehensible farce in silence.

There was a hint of sadness in Matsuko's eyes. She just thought they were noisy, and then turned her head and continued to look at the deep sea.

"Matsuko just has a mental illness, she can be cured! Matsuko - come back soon, Matsuko -"

"Has she ever cooperated with the treatment for so long? No one has the obligation to save anyone! Since she wants to die, let her go!"

“……” Taking a deep breath, Songzi looked back at her father, that majestic man.

"You are still the same—superior—as you were then, and as you are now."

"So? This is why you want to die? Then go ahead!"

His eyes were red, but he still pulled his wife to stand up straight. The man stared at his daughter with a cold tone.

"Every time I talk to you, I feel suffocated. My friends advise me to resist, but I can't do it."

"Matsuko...Matsuko, please come back soon...please..."

"Mom, please stop giving me counseling, okay?"

Songzi pleaded, "I really beg you... I can't accept your concern."

"Matsu-Matsuko?"

"Your kindness will only make my already uncomfortable feeling worse. Please stop trying to persuade me. I can't accept this world because of you."

Matsuko's mother looked stunned, but couldn't say a word.

"From childhood to adulthood, my father, my proud father as a professor of the University of Tokyo, always put too much pressure on me. No matter what I did, it was not enough, not enough... I really don't have the ability like you, can you understand? Mom, I even doubt whether I am your child. I have not inherited anything that can be called talent. I tried very hard to do something, study or something else, but I couldn't do it..."

She wiped her tears and said, "You are too kind, but this kind of kindness is like a sharp knife to me, it wants to stab me through."
